Innovation at Siemens

Siemens intends to generate further growth in its core areas of electrification, automation and digitalization as well as explore new businesses. Innovations are the key to this effort. For this reason, Siemens will invest around €4.8 billion in research and development (R&D) in the current fiscal year 2016 – some €300 million more than last fiscal year. R&D investment has thus increased about 20 percent since fiscal 2014.

Press and Analyst Event

How is Siemens using these funds? Which new technologies are the approximately 32,000 researchers developing at Siemens? And how is the company exploiting the potential of start-ups?

In addition, the heads of three Siemens Divisions will presented their latest innovation highlights and gave an overview of the Company's current research projects.
